Covid Blog 40

Hard to believe that I have been doing this blog for 40 days!!!!

Yes this lockdown down has been on for more than 40 days 

Based on the advice from the Prime Minister and the combined state and territory cabinet we still have a way to go before we get back to something like normal life.

Some states and territories are allowing some limited visits outside of home but here in Victoria we are in the strong version of the lockdown and there will be no change until early next week after Mother’s Day

After waking and breakfast it was off to the bakery to get bread and to sneak in a coffee at Zimt 

The guys at Zimt are doing a great job after the long period of virus lockdown... thanks guys 

I had a great chat with Simon Wheelton near the bakery where he advised he had taken on the role of chief painter in Hamilton street where he was painting all the signs in the street as part of maintenance... well done Simon

I then went to Cycleinn to ask where my Garmin radar clip was and they advised it was on the handlebars... silly me I did not see it when I picked up the bike yesterday!

On the way home I made a trip to Bunnings to pick up a few items to assist on a carpentary job... another task that I hate!!

I surprised myself in completing the task reasonably well !

After this and lunch courtesy of Chris and Jenita I then tried my hand at repairs to a leaking gutter which seemed to work as well...

Whilst all of this was going on Jenita and Chris were moving there belongings from our house to their newly renovated home in Empress Road.... yes today they were moving back to their home

This had mixed feelings for me as their family had been part of the new norm for the past 11 months with us and I will miss it ... but it would be good to get back to being part of a quieter life

After cleaning up the front yard ahead of Mother’s Day, Robyn and I went to Empress Road with some champagne and nibbles to celebrate the new home for our boarders for the past 11 months. The house looks great and both Cooper and Mikayla were proud to show off their new bedrooms to us both. The new kitchen and family rooms look great... well done guys!

After the celebration we returned home to a quiet soup by the television before heading off to bed

I forgot to mention that today was reasonably wet and cold and as a consequence there was no bike riding 

Now for a photo or 2...

The renovation looks great ... the kitchen and family room
